Kelly Ripa can't wait to youth-enize her face... live!

monica Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 08:18 PM EST

she should not be in the show she is anorexic and that is not a good example for the young girls with this problem kelly needs to leave and get help

This is the most boring talk show and
don't watch it anymore and kelly looks like death and he needs to be in a museum.

Danielle Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 04:32 AM EST

Did you ever see Kelly's mother? Talk about a botched up botox job. Kelly needs to gain weight maybe her head wouldn't look so big. She looks like a Qtip.

Kelly's latest Trick to act Cute is her Hand motions. This woman needs to get off the Airwaves. Boring, no Talent and annoying as Hell.

timothy Cox Tue, Jan 22, 2008 at 05:56 PM EST

I think that Kelly Rippa is just following in Kathy lees shoes , Regis requires all his co -host to look like there anorexic, Thats the only way they last as his Hostess, And as for Regis when are they finally going to finally get rid of him and his anorexic side kid Kelly Rippa need to go as well she is a disgusting sick woman who's head has become to big for her body , she is a really bad actress , and and horrible Host as well

KELLY CLEARLY IS WAY TOO THIN AND NOW OBSESSED WITH EXERCISE! I CANT STAND HOW SHE PRETENDS TO BE SO NORMAL WHILE SHOWING OFFF HER $600-800 SHOES! SHES SO EGO TISTICAL AND HER DAUGHTERS BEHAVIOR ON THE xMAS EVE SHOW WAS HORRIFIC AND BRATTY! KELLY SHOULD GET OVER HERSELF! GOT A LUCKY BREAK THATS ALL!

OK, I just have to sound off somewhere about her...does she listen to herself...tell Janet Jackson about water weight; acting like she is fat. Oh please; she is so in love with herself; and has to air it daily; she talks too much and thinks she is so incredibly hot. I have tried to like her, but she just gets on my nerves with her "I" "I" "I", and "ME" "ME" "ME"--I will say this...she can be very funny with her quick wit. Today, she couldn't have talked more with Jeff being her co=-host. She is soooooooo impressed with herself.

Nikki Tue, Jan 30, 2007 at 03:29 PM EST

I don't think Kelly need's Botox at all, she's very pretty and think she's great on the show. She always makes me laugh.

Ernesto Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 06:37 PM EST

Annie Barrett don't listen to the bitter NYMom, your writing is great and very funny!!!!!!!!!

Ernesto Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 06:31 PM EST

Ripa is a gumshoe Kathie Lee wannabe, she does the same stuff Kathie Lee did without being actually funny.Media hog is right!!

Cliff Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 05:46 PM EST

Kelly wouldn't need Botox if she gained fifteen pounds. Those lines would smooth out, she'd have more energy, and it would be one less set of celebrity tendons I'd have to see on a regular basis.

Karla Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 03:17 PM EST

Well it's not as if she's a talented actress who needs her entire instrument to have workable parts. She's just a low level TV celebrity, and in that cutthroat world, botox is a sad and pathetic must.

And as for the cast of DH - none of whom is a fine actress, and all of whom were hired for their beauty - aging normally and gracefully is not in any of their contracts! Pretty eye candy actresses look stupid with botox, but, hey, they've got jobs.

And Helen Mirren, who is hired specifically for her acting ability, is very unusual. Roles like hers don't come along so very often.

I often rail about the godawful shallowness of the infotainment industrial complex, but I don't think it will change. People would have to be able to overcome their reactive, "ooh, pretty, shiny, sexy" programming and think on their feet.

And how often does that happen?

Vendredi Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 11:17 AM EST

Is she trying to make us think that she hasn't already had BOTOX injections? yeah right. How old is Kelly Ripa? I seem to recall that she was on Soul train or something..

Lene Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 11:04 AM EST

That's one of the reasons I stopped watching DH - I find acting without the benefits of facial muscles really alarming. Look at say, Helen Mirren and what she can do with an infitessimal shift of an eyebrow. Acting is more than just saying the words, people! The plastic doll look has got to go.

brandonk Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 11:01 AM EST

I agree that women shouldn't bother with Botox (and most plastic surgeries). As for "You walk along the street and the humans look like aliens!", I'm pretty sure that only applies in New York or LA...it's definitely not the case in Portland. LOL

Betty Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:49 AM EST

Growing older in this society is terrifying. I don't blame Rippa- though one would hope that those on tv would think about the consequences of peddling plastic surgery and other augmentations.

mells Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:45 AM EST

I have been a longtime watcher of regis and kathie lee, and now for the past 5 or 6 years kelly, she is gorgeous and so does not need botox..i hope she's joking. she could seriously consider gaining about 15 lbs and then I think would look much better and healthy! she's too skinny right now and it hurts me to see a mom of three who clearly weights 90 lbs soaking wet!

Juju Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:39 AM EST

Kay: I don't think anyone really cares about Kelly getting Botox. She has earned the dislike of many with her silly antics and incessant chatter, she does not know how to come up for air. She should get stitches along with the botox on her lips.

Ed Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:28 AM EST

Annie, love your cough drop joke- they don't work.

Marcia Cross wins my award for too much Botoie.

Kay Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:18 AM EST

Calm down here people, sheesh, it's just Botox. Look at the Frankenstein Kelly Ripa is now, and you're fretting because she's getting a few teeny injections? Honestly. And men, lighten up with the "women ruining their beauty" stuff. Women have their own money and right to choose what to do with it. Men have weird ritutals, too...hair plugs, bald spot paint...
If women can afford to erase some lines and wrinkles making them look and feel younger, more power to em. These hate-filled comments clearly come from people who have never had any need to alter their appearance - and that's incredibly lucky. Once you've gone through a few small procedures, you realize there is nothing substantitating the media hype. So calm down, and stop projecting your own self-dislike on to others choices. (...I can't believe you people got me to stick up for Kelly Ripa...)

Mike Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:18 AM EST

Best example of the "Desperate Housewives" frozen-face phenomenon: Nicole Kidman in "Cold Mountain." I'm sorry, I couldn't take that movie seriously because I kept thinking, "I'm pretty sure Botox wasn't available during the Civil War." Also, how old was that character supposed to be? She was completely naive, yet she was clearly well into her 30s.

Tom Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:13 AM EST

I agree with Tracy -- this blog is a little misleading if you actually check out the story it's linked to. It sounds like she might have been joking. This makes it sound like it's already scheduled for sweeps.

vanbuek Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:12 AM EST

Helen Mirren would not be winning all these awards right now if she didn't accept her age.

Tracy Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:10 AM EST

I read that interview in Self magazine, and she said that if she ever does get botox she would want to do it on the show b/c it would be free. She didn't say that she was going to do it now. Read the interview!

Mike Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:09 AM EST

Don't do it, Kelly. Aging gracefully is the way to go. I can't imagine "The Graduate" would have worked half as well if Anne Bancroft had looked like a modern actress her age (e.g. Lisa Rinna).

Lilly Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 10:09 AM EST

The wrong side of 35? EEEWWWW! What have you done to look so bad at 35 NYMOM? You think Botox will fix that?

Jo Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:51 AM EST

Botox is stupid. Why can't people just live with the way the good Lord made them. I could see plastic surgery in you had a bad accident, but to have stuff just because you want to look younger, own up to your age people.

Joel Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:45 AM EST

Kelly Ripa does not need Botox. I think most people look worse with injections, but to get it done when it's unnecessary is just stupid. She can only look worse.

vanbuek Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:45 AM EST

It's botulism. I'm sure down the line they will discover that injecting rancid meat into your face is not the healthiest thing to do. I doubt the long term side effects are yet known. Remember Thalidomide...

Carlos Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:44 AM EST

Sad. When someone as pretty as she is has to do this stuff in public for ratings. I find her annoying and shallow but very beautifl... A few lines in your face doesn't diminish beauty.

maya Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:32 AM EST

calm down, NY MOM. I guess that hit a nerve, huh? Or a muscle? Or whatever your weekly shot of botox hits.

NYmom Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:29 AM EST

Oh, please, how old is this EW writer? Can't be more than 25, I'm sure, but she sounds like a 17-year-old Valley girl. Talk about ignorant!! Listen, honey, why don't you hit the wrong side of 35 first, and then get back to us on how "gross" it is, okay?

Gretchen Weiners Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:12 AM EST

At least it's not Oprah. I'm sure Ripa's housewife/soccer mom following is large, but if The Oprah did it I'm sure her lemmings would suck every last bit of Bo out of the U.S. and cause a backlash becaue of the short supply.

Dave Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:07 AM EST

Paulo C. - If I disliked you would that make me idiot-phobic?

Jason Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 09:00 AM EST

I hate that women are ruining their faces in the name of beauty. We have let the cosmetic surgery thing go way too far. They don't look pretty or young, they look alien.

Paulo C. Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 08:38 AM EST

She should get vaccinated against homophobia. And move somewhere remote.

Nancy Walker Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 08:23 AM EST

Good article! Why doesn't she just go get a face lift? I know, she doesn't really need anything so drastic at this time. Kelly Ripa is a media hog of the worst kind. This is almost as bad as Oprah Winfrey looking at women's breast after plastic surgery.

Jeff Rivera Mon, Jan 29, 2007 at 06:43 AM EST

That is so true. You can't tell people's emotions on television any more because they've done so much botox they can't move their foreheads or scrunch their eye brows anymore!
